According to the documentation I have read the versions of software I am
utilizing should work. Any light that can be shed on this issue would be
appreciated. :-)

Lauri,

Is there any reason you are using such an outdated version of Cyrus-SASL?
The current Cyrus-SASL version is 2.1.12. Also, OpenLDAP does not function
well with OpenSSL 0.9.7 last I heard, so you might want to drop back to
OpenSSL 0.9.6i. You also will want to use Berkeley DB 4.1.25, not 4.1.24.
I'd try making those changes, and then compiling and seeing what happens.
